I only have a few WCs but I always treat them for parasites as soon as they arrive. All WCs will have parasites IMO.

You needn't be worried at all if you collect fecals and take them to your vet for examination. They may reveal nothing at all, but if something does show up you can treat them specifically instead of just blasting away on a hunch.
